  How to cope with a bad day? Some mornings are harder than others. Many of us are quite familiar with those days that feel as though we've lost our magic touch and everything is just going awry.  Late for work. Children aren't ready for school. Stuck in traffic. Haven't had breakfast. Haven't had enough sleep. Off to a long shift at work. Another mad rush morning, that demands so much energy. Sometimes it feels as though the weight of the world is resting on our shoulders. It's just not easy to get by. Below I'll share seven tips that can help to alleviate some of the pressure: 1. Express gratitude   You can never determine how good or bad your day will turn out to be. It may have started on the wrong footing, but it may very well be one of your best days. Take each moment in strides.  Make a list of the things that you're most thankful for. You can start with a short prayer.  God, today I'm thankful for the breath in my body. I'm thankful for mobil

   Contentment doesn't mean that you should eliminate your ambitions, settle for less than you deserve, or remain satisfied with your life in a dormant state. Nothing is wrong with pursuing your dreams and wanting better for yourself. However, in your quest for better, you should always remember anything that costs your peace of mind is too costly. 1. Be thankful for everything. One of the most profound biblical statements that I've read is from the Apostle Paul. ''I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.'' Philippians 4:11-13. Many of us are longing for contentment in our lives. Being grateful is a great way to start. Try to find at least one thi

 Every day that we are alive, we are presented with twenty-four hours. What we do with those hours is entirely up to us. We can either choose to spend them idly or invest them wisely. The next time you feel as though you aren't meeting your daily targets. Ask yourself, how am I using every twenty-four hours that I'm given? Below I'll share five useful tips to make the most of your day.  1. Make preparations from the night before.  Try not to clutter your mornings. It will make you exhausted the minute you reach the office. Clean your shoes the night before, prepare the outfit that you plan to wear, and put your wallet, purse, and keys where you can easily find them. Ensure that your work ID is in your bag. If you plan on taking lunch to work. Try to prepare the ingredients overnight. You could also prepare your sandwiches, fruits, or salads and refrigerate them in an air-tight container to retain freshness. This will save you a great deal of time in the morning. Especially

  Do you want to live a less tiresome life? Have you ever wondered why others are so vivacious and you're not? No worries, you aren't the only one. You can start with being kinder to yourself. Here are seven things that you can do. How do I focus on myself more ? 1. Take breaks. Our bodies have a way to remind us to take a break. Don't ignore the signs! For me, when I'm sitting at my computer desk for long hours.  I can feel my eyes starting to burn, and my fingers becoming numb. Sometimes, I realize that my feet are swollen and my back muscles are extremely tense.  Routinely, I would either get up and walk, elevate my legs, twinkle my fingers and toes, or just shut the computer down. Know when your body is calling for a break. It's not a machine,  even they get wear and tear.  Give your body the break that it needs. It was never created to work continuously. Like a car that overheats. Your body and mind will become sick if you refuse to give them the break that the

 Isn't it a  tragedy to have life and not know what to do with it? I heard once that the richest place on earth is the cemetery.  It might sound ridiculous, but if you analyze it it's true. The grave has many talents that are no longer in use, and many that were never used throughout their time on earth. What is your purpose in life?   Every man both rich and poor must answer this question. They must know their purpose in life. When this life is over will your purpose be numbered among those who did nothing with their lives or those who died empty? There isn't anyone on earth who was created to have a life without meaning, but our lives will appear meaningless without us knowing our purpose in life.  You wonder why so many persons have yet to find joy in what they are currently doing or even find fulfillment after years of serving a job that they're about to retire from. It's because they haven't found their purpose. They haven't been serving their purpose.

  Where is the fate of your happiness resting? He doesn't make me happy. She doesn't make me happy. I'm just not happy. What is it that makes you happy? Does having money make you happy? Do your friends make you happy? Do your children make you happy? Does your job make you happy? Does your spouse make you happy? All these are external influences on your happiness. If any of these become the primary source of your happiness. You'll be devastated the moment they are removed from your life. You would have lost the key to your happiness.   The primary source of your happiness has to come from within yourself. You have to be in control of your happiness. If you can't make yourself happy; then no one else can.  Your children, job, friends, spouse, etc., don't possess the ability to make you into an entirely happy person. That's all up to you.  ''Happiness can only be found if you can free yourself of all other distractions.'' Saul Bellow Being hap
